FAQs
Are Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers suitable for sports?
While originally designed for indoor sports in the 1970s, the current Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers are primarily intended for casual wear and street style. They are not recommended for modern, high-performance athletic activities.
How do I clean the suede upper?
To clean the suede upper, gently brush off loose dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaner, always following the product's instructions and testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers are described as having a regular fit. Most users find them to be true to size. If you are between sizes, consider trying them on or consulting a size guide.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
Suede is not ideal for wet conditions. Exposure to rain or excessive moisture can damage the material and potentially cause staining or discoloration. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet weather or use a protective spray.
What is the material of the shoe?
The shoes feature a suede upper, a comfortable leather lining, and a distinctive translucent gum rubber outsole. The specific color for this variant is Better Scarlet/Cream White.
What does 'Indoor' refer to in the name?
The 'Indoor' designation refers to the shoe's original design intent for indoor sports, particularly noticeable with its gum rubber outsole which was favored for grip on indoor courts. Today, it mostly signifies the shoe's heritage and classic design elements.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
The Gazelle Indoor offers standard casual shoe support suitable for everyday wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, insoles may be added, provided there is sufficient room within the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or has minor stains.
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt and restore the nap. For light stains, a suede eraser can be effective. For more stubborn marks, apply a suede cleaner as directed by the product instructions, testing on a hidden area first.
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have the correct size. The Gazelle Indoor generally offers a regular fit. For minor adjustments, try re-lacing your shoes to customize the tension across your foot. Wearing socks of different thicknesses can also help optimize the fit.
Soles feel slippery or dirty.
Clean the gum rubber outsole regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and debris, which can impact grip. Ensure the soles are completely dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Adidas Gazelle Indoor Trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and tied securely to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Adjust tightness as needed.
- Break-in: While suede is generally soft, a short break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort, though typically not extensive.
Compatibility
- Wardrobe: These trainers are highly versatile and complement a wide range of casual attire, including denim, cargo pants, shorts, and casual skirts or dresses. Their retro aesthetic makes them a great match for vintage-inspired looks.
- Occasions: Ideal for daily wear, casual outings, social gatherings, concerts, and relaxed environments where style and comfort are prioritized.
Care
Proper care will preserve the look and longevity of your suede Gazelle Indoor Trainers:
- Cleaning Suede: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Spot Treatment: For small marks, a suede eraser can often lift dirt without needing liquid cleaners.
- Protection: Consider applying a waterproof and stain-resistant spray specifically designed for suede to help protect against moisture and spills. Reapply periodically.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight, which can damage suede.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
